Planning an event in Eddington?
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Evening parties in Eddington need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day

- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with takeaway pizzas, the roast is an event in itself. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
